    Hi All,
    I just found my new Silver 2011 Prius IV today and will pick it up on Friday. I am trading my 2005 Highlander. I'm looking forward to driving it. For now I'll study up on the forum here.
    My first question is iPod control, my dealer says the iPod kit doesn't work on this model, is there an aftermarket kit like the Dice that will work on with the nav and sat radio this model has?
    Thanks in advance,
    losta

    Thanks but it says: Attention: This add-on will disable factory satellite radio. Any way to have them both?

    I picked up my new Prius today and it controls my iPod touch just fine through the USB connector using the standard entertainment system with the nab package. The dealer thought otherwise, but all is well. I'm liking my new Prius and look forward to learning more on this forum. Thanks!

    That is great! I had the impression that the 2011 came with the IPOD interface standard.

    Enjoy!

    Maybe I just assumed that since I saw it in the accessories catalog that it wasn't. Now to learn more about the car.
